Happening this week (November 6-10)

I am so sorry I missed you last Sunday! I had my dad on loan to do some household tasks and had to make the most of it! What a week we just had! Your first Holy Trinity Spirit week. We kicked it off with Meme Monday, Halloween, Twin Day/Trinity Wear Day, Throw-Back Day, and finally Denim Day. We made a last minute rally for the cake auction and raised about $75.00 for our sister school in El Salvador. Way to go! We also represented well on Halloween. I am always impressed by the effort and creativity that go into your costumes! Wednesday we had a great day at the 67's game! The 67's didn't have as great a day, but we had a great time together and saw many of our friends on the Big Screen! On Thursday Progress Reports went home. Don't forget to book your spot for parent-teacher interviews!

This week we will be honouring our Veterans on Friday morning in a Remembrance Day Assembly. We will take the time to honour those who lost lives or loved ones, and those that continue to struggle with both mental and physical health issues as a result of time spent serving our country.

In math we will be looking at congruent and similar shapes. On Monday, your Order of Operations SWYK will go home for mom or dad to sign.

Health assignments are due at the start of class on Monday. We will be playing some table tennis this week! Don't forget your gym clothes!

Important Dates:
Friday November 10: Remembrance Day Assembly
Monday November 20 - Thursday November 23: Kindness Awareness Week
Thursday November 23: Parent-Teacher Interviews - Early Dismissal
Friday November 24: PD Day

Have a great week!
Ms. D

Happening This Week (September 18-22)

It was so nice to meet so many of you this past Thursday! I am lucky to have students that have such enthusiastic and supportive parents! If you were unable to make it, no problem, ask your son/daughter to pick you up a Tips For Success handout. Last week we had our first Show What You Know on Friday. Students will receive these back and bring them home to be signed this week. This week we will be exploring the Rules of Divisibility and using them to determine the factors and GCF's of numbers. Check out some of the new additions to our Number Sense Workspace. We will have some Check-Ins along the way, but no summative assessments until the following week. As we will be using our Workspaces on a regular basis, it is important for students to bring their laptops or chromebooks to each class. We do have a few in the classroom that students can borrow, but there are definitely not enough to go around. The students are allowed to bring them to their lockers at the end of each cla

Welcome!

What an exciting week it has been getting ready to begin the 2017/2018 school year! I had the pleasure of meeting many of you at our Trinity Nation Orientation Day on Monday. Many of you had the opportunity to set up your lockers and tour around the school to have a peek at some of your classrooms. If you were unable to join us, not to worry! We will spend plenty of time getting used to our new surroundings on Tuesday. I teach grade 7 math, physical and health education, and social studies. This will be my 14th year teaching, and my 8th at Holy Trinity. I love this school and am optimistic that you will too! You will receive plenty of information about the many opportunities you will have to get involved in your school community this year. So what do you need? The school provides essential materials for learning, but it is important that you have the following items with you each day: pencils, pens, a calculator, a dry erase marker, and your notebook or binder for each class.

Happening This Week (October 10 - 13)

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I hope everyone is taking time to be with friends and family. I am extremely grateful for the many blessings I have in my life, including the opportunities that I have to teach and spend time with such a special group of students. Last week was short but exciting. Homeroom 7-9 did an amazing job of fundraising for our Terry Fox Run/Walk. We will be recognizing their effort during homeroom this week ;) In spite of the rain, we ran and walked almost 10km! We then enjoyed a bbq and some pretty fantastic entertainment by our peers and even our teachers! This week will be another short but busy one. In math we will be continuing to explore square roots and perfect squares, and will have an opportunity to show what we know on Thursday. We will be getting our Factors SWYK back on Monday, and bringing them home to be signed by mom or dad. In History we will be exploring some key events in early Canada, and looking at how different groups of people, as well as na
